FURTHER FROM Mr.. DORSEY.


Editor Register Mr.. Evarts in your
issue of the til inst. seems to be in high
glee because he thinks he has found a
grain of comfort in the article you copy
at his request. Mr.. II. +. Allen, who
wrote that article, is, or was, rather, as
rabid an advocate of separators as Mr..
Evarts. and is one of the ''proprietors.
He with his associates started the cream
cry with the separator and experienced
the same fortune that Mr.. Evarts has at
New Haven and Weybridge. They were
losing their old patrons and no new ones
would come in, and in self-defence they
had TO take up the Cooley cream-gather-
ing. and now are gaining, and have gone
so far as to consider the advisability of
abandoning the separator entirely. for
the reason which he gives. 1t is certainly
very great victory when such persons
admit that the Cooley cream-gathering
has advantages. Mr.. Allen shows good
judgment, in my opinion, in accepting
the situation and adopting the Cooley.
Mr.. Evarts evidently is bound to stick to
to the ship until it sinks and drown with
it. He would have your readers believe
that Messrs. Allen 4 Co.'S factory started
with the Cooley and then put in a sepa
ratOr. which is not true. 1t started with
a separator and was compelled to put in
Cooley, or have its patronage go to Il
neighboring Cooley factory.
This is one more factory added to the
many cases where the separator has had
to give way to the Cooley cream-gather-
ing system. | challenge Mr.. Evarts to
name one place where the separator has
taken the place of Cooley cream-gather
ing. Mr. Allen would have people be-
lieve that his butter took the lead at the
Boston fair; but is very particular not to
say how many points it scored, which
was only 9G. Cooley butter at that fair
scored 100 points and was the only kind
that did score that number. Shelburn
Falls (Mass.) Cooley cream-gathering
factory butter scored % points in another
class and had no entry in the class with
Mr.. Aliens. If Mr.. Allen will give the
whole story, it will be seen that his but
ter is quite ways from being at the
head, and good many Cooley prizes
ahead of him.
Another article copied in the REGISTER,
by request, describes Mr.. l.. Il. Hazen's
experiments with separatOrs and deep
settlers, in which it is stated that he got
q hntt hxyt M
rator than by the settlers. The Cooley
has repeatedly beaten deep settlers from
II ID to % per cent. in the amount of
butter made.
Read these statements:
CANTON CENTER, CT, March IL, ISL
In reply to yours OF the It'll, would say
got Is IL per cent. more butter with the Cooley
than with the deep settlers formerly used, and
our butter is equally as good now as then
Yours truly, H. =. BIDwELL,
Supt. Canton Creamery.
EAST GRASBY, Conn, Nov. l., lSs6
In replv to yours of Nov 18th, would say
that in the spring of lss2 the East CRANKY
Creamery Co. built and started their creamery
on the milk plan, receiving it at the factory
and setting il in deep coolers in pools OF cold
spring water. We continued it this way tor
tour years, until April, lss6 1t took from
twelve to fourteen qurts OF milk tor pound
OF butter.
April lst, lSs6, we changed to the gathering
OF cream raised in the Cooley creamers. 1t
now takes from eight to eleven quarts of milk
for a pound of butter. weget one-fourth more
butter from the milk COR more) than by the
first plan and the butter is full as good as be
fore We are well satisfied with the change.
Respectfully yours, CLINTON PHELPS,
Pres. of the East CRANKY Creamery Co.
WILTON, y. H.. May L. 1856.
We have been extensively engaged in the
handling of milk and making butter for more
than forty years, and have used nearly every
If not every, kind of cream raiser separa
tor on the market, including the Cooley
dreamer, centrifugal machines, and the cold
deep settlers, and from long and continued
trials, we find we make on an average IL /!
DER cent. more butter, and OF better quality
from the Cooley creamer than from any Other
process or method.
DAVID WHITING Il SONS.
The article referred to says Mr.. Hazer
uses the product of 300 Jersey cows, anC
would give any one the impression tina
all of it is run through the separator
ONLY the milk of Mr.. Hazen's privat,
herd of 40 or 80 cows is run through thu
separator, all the rest is cream-gathering
Mr.. Hazen says he cannot advocate sepa
.rators for cooperative dairying, but doe
advocate and uses Cooley cream-gather
ing. am very grateful to Mr.. Evart
for citing these cases, and if he has an.
